Hi,
	I have Chris' bidirectional com driver, and have noticed problems
when I have getty enabled on /dev/tty01. When you try to run tip or uucp
to dial out, you are lucky if you can connect to the modem 1 out of 5 tries.
In between I get all kinds of garbage that seems to come back from the modem,
but I suspect getty or the tty driver.

	The modem is rock solid once you can talk to it, and I never
saw the problem when  getty wasn't running.

	Anyone got a clue?

	Is this the famous echo problem with the modem.

Thanks a lot,

	Lars
